Opening Remarks at Chiral Dynamics 2006:Experimental Tests of Chiral Symmetry Breaking

A. M. Bernstein

Published 2007-07-28, updated 2007-10-21Version 2

A physical introduction to the basics of chiral dynamics is presented. Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective field theory of QCD. Special attention is paid to a few cases where discrepancies exist, requiring further work. Some desirable future tests are also recommended.
